My kids and I all learned TaeKwonDo from Grand Master Jim. This was a deliberate choice on my part as I wanted my kids to learn more than punching, kicking and point based sparring. I was happy to have Grand Master Jim as a very positive influence on my kids as I raised them.Grand Master Jim routinely reminds the kids (and adults) that he doesn’t respect them because they can fight. He then reminds them that animals fight. He continues that he respects them because they are good people.Grand Master Jim expects kids to behave at home as well as in class, and checks to make sure that is the case. He teaches them age appropriate self defense techniques and challenges them physically.As an adult student, I can say that I greatly admire Grand Master Jim’s rigor. He can—and will—have the best conditioned students gasping for air, and will (safely) stretch anyone beyond their comfort zones routinely. Grand Master Jim is a fantastic teacher, has an exceptional grasp on fighting styles and techniques and lives the Tenets of TaeKwonDo every day.One final word for those concerned that TarKwonDo is not a realistic self defense martial art: don’t you believe it. The traditional style as taught by Master Jim is absolutely real world ready. Trust me on this.

Master Jim is excellent with kids and adults alike. The gym has bathrooms and changing rooms. There are chairs for parents to watch practice. Classes are inclusive and well-staffed. The discipline is friendly, and the program is somewhat self-paced. It's a wonderful gym for beginners or experienced athletes.

We love RRTKD and have enjoyed watching our kids mature in their personal discipline, strength and poise, as well as in their TKD rankings. Master Jim is an incredible teacher and mentor to his students, and I recommend RRTKD to all families who are looking to engage in an activity that is enriching for the body, mind and soul.

My children and I have been students at Red River Traditional Tae Kwon Do for many years. Master Jim is a fantastic teacher. He is easy going and fun, but also expects you to try hard and do your best. He will not give you anything you don't earn, but he will make you work hard to allow you to do things you would not have thought possible.Through the years he has helped teach my boys (and me) integrity, perseverance, and self control among other traits that will help us throughout our lives.I cannot recommend this program highly enough.

Jim is a great teacher of TKD, discipline, instilling confidence, integrity, and manners. It’s more than just exercise and learning a skill. He is giving the kids life lessons and has a way about having the kids really buy into it. The adult pupils seem to enjoy it as well.
